Let x(t) = u(t-3) - u(t-5) and h(t) = e^-3tu(t)

'''A)'''
y(t) = x(t)*h(t)
I used the integral y(t) = <math>\int_{-\infty}^\infty h(\tau)x(t-\tau)\,d\tau</math> for simplicity.

Then, for t<3 y(t)=0
For 3 < t < 5 y(t) = (e^-9 - e^-3(t-3)) / 3


==> Comment: I think your lower bound should be 0 rather than 3 so that the answer to part 1 is <math>y(t) =\frac{1-e^{-3(t-3)}}{3}</math>


For t>5 y(t) = (e^-3(t-5) - e^-3(t-3)) / 3

'''B'''
y(t) = dx(t)/dt*h(t) = [delta(t-3) - delta(t-5)]*[e^-3t u(t)]
For t < 3, y(t) = 0.

For 3 < t < 5, y(t) = <math>\int_{-\infty}^\infty h(\tau)x(t-\tau)\,d\tau</math> = <math>\int_0^{t-3} h(\tau)x(t-\tau)\,d\tau</math>,
so y(t) = [e^-9 - e^-3(t-3)] / 3.

For t > 5 y(t) = <math>\int_{-\infty}^\infty h(\tau)x(t-\tau)\,d\tau</math> = <math>\int_{t-5}^{t-3} h(\tau)x(t-\tau)\,d\tau</math>, 
so y(t) = [e^-3(t-5) - e^-3(t-3)] / 3

I don't think that this is right, but I'm not sure what part I need to change.


==>Comment: I'm not completly sure but I think since the derivative is two impulse functions you can just get <math>y(\tau)</math> by the equation <math>-h(\tau-5) + h(\tau-3) = - e^{-3(\tau-5)} + e^{-3(\tau-3)}</math>. I think you then may need to add the step functions to the answer so that it is general for all cases: <math>y(\tau) = e^{-3(\tau-3)}u(\tau-3) - e^{-3(\tau-5)}u(\tau-5)</math>
